  • Academic Faculty Address-2017
    A Ressourcement Vision for Graduate Theological Education Academic Faculty Address-2017 Thomas A. Baima Mundelein Seminary August 11, 2017 I want to welcome everyone to the first of our Academic Faculty meetings for the 2017- 2018 school year. I hope all of you had a refreshing summer. This meeting is the result of comments by some of you that the academic department did not have the same opportunity as the formation department for planning and interaction. It is for this reason that I added this morning to the meetings at the opening of the school year. We do need time to work together as a group on the common project of seminary education. Those of you who are more senior will remember that we used to meet for two full days at the opening of the school year and again at the opening of the beginning of the new year. Without those meetings, we have lost much of the time we used to work together. So, I hope this morning will restore some of that, and at the same time not wear everyone out. Here is my plan for the morning. First, I’m going to do some introductions of our new members. Next, I want to offer some remarks about the vision of higher education. I do this because the academic department is entrusted with the responsibility for the intellectual pillars and shares responsibility for the pastoral pillar 1 with Formation. As such, we are part of the larger higher education enterprise both of this country and of the Catholic Church internationally.

  • The Unbidden the Unbidden
    A! Fresh Fear! And ! Thunder Communications International Production! The Unbidden! A film by Quentin Lee! Approx. 84 minutes! Not Yet Rated! Preliminary Press Notes! The Unbidden is a supernatural thriller about four women confronted by a mysterious young man who unburies a dark secret from their past. Mystery Novelist Lauren Lee (Tamlyn Tomita) is haunted by the ghost of a tortured, bloodied man. She tries to forget the apparition’s terrifying warnings and her unstable mental state by hosting dinner with her best friends (Julia Nickson, Amy Hill and Elizabeth Sung). Each of her best friends has her own idea and opinion to make Lauren better. In the midst of a séance that Rachel believes will exorcise Lauren, a mysterious young man arrives brandishing a gun and announces that one of them is his mother. He holds the women hostage in order to get to the truth of the whereabouts of his missing father, Lauren’s husband. The women’s world unravels as Lauren confesses that she has killed her husband Jake (Jason Yee) in self defense. Even though the young man is stunned by his mother’s frank confession, there are brutal twists to the dark secret that he never imagined. He goes on an emotional journey through the four women's past which reverses his perspective on vengeance. But forgiveness doesn’t come easy to those who’ve committed the ultimate betrayal as a decades long mystery gets solved in an unexpected final reckoning. Writer and Director’s Statement If you're a fan of the horror, psychological thriller, family melodrama or Asian American film genres, you're in for a treat, not a trick.
